That’s great.
The comments on the FOX link are a hoot. The usual complaints about what constitutes a covid death and then gems like this -
“I’m surprised TDS wasn’t on the list”
Okay.

Isn't it great what vaccines, and actual medical treatments, can accomplish?

The vaccines were quite helpful in regards to those first two very deadly variants. All the booster since are just hit and miss much like the flu vaccines. Now the virus is simply mutating it's way down to a another version of the common cold.

A comeback would be a variant as deadly as the first two. Now it's just another common virus we hve to live with, much like colds and flu.

Thanks to the covidiots. And Covid is not just like the flu.

In most cases at this point in time, it's actually not as bad as the flu. You are still living in the Pqndemic era.

Same. A few of my friends just got over it. I'm hoping to not get it again. I'll get my next booster as soon as my doctor recommends it.
